Building Change Together: Policy & Public Engagement in Rural Communities

The Mesa County Collaboration for the Unhoused (MCCUH) has launched nine work groups as part of the Unhoused Strategic Plan 2024–2027. Each group focuses on a different piece of the puzzle, from housing to services to data. The Policy and Public Engagement Work Group stands out because it helps set the tone for the entire effort. Its job is to make sure our community’s policies support solutions that last—and that the public is engaged every step of the way. By working alongside the eight other groups, it helps keep the big picture moving forward.
